This is another one of those poor boy race cars. I can see "Average Working Joe Racer" loading up his truck at the junkyard with cheap parts and building this thing in his back yard. A little overtime and moonlighting money used to buy some parts at Clifford Research and some used slicks and hot darn! he goes racing. The six was built up from the AMT 41 plymouth kit. At the time, there were no Hudson kits yet and the plymouth kit engine looked sorta close. The finned head was made from a chrome 32 ford grille and the intake was made from bits of tube. Headers are solder. I think I jacked the carbs from the 53 Ford pickup kit. Now I KNOW its not a Hudson engine and YOU KNOW its not a Hudson engine but it looks close enough to fool most people. I might try this again at some point and use a REAL Hudson engine from one of the many now available kits. I got this idea from a 1962 car mag I picked up at a swap meet. Hey Steve, I know you like Gassers, hope this gives you some chuckles.
